Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same as
the MIL you are already familiar with (ªCHECK ENGINEº
lamp). However, OBD II requires for it illuminate under a
strict set of guidelines. Basically, the MIL is turned on
when the PCM detects a DTC that will impact the vehicle's
emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Executive.
The MIL will be turned on if a component or system which
has an impact on vehicle emissions indicates a
malfunction or fails to pass an emissions±related
diagnostic test. It will stay on until the system or
component passes the same test, for three consecutive
trips, with no emissions±related faults.
DTC Types
Each DTC is directly related to a diagnostic test. The
Diagnostic Management System sets DTC based on the
failure of the tests during a trip or trips. Certain tests must
fail two (2) consecutive trips before the DTC is set. The
following are the four (4) types of DTCs and the
characteristics of those codes:

Type A

Emissions related

Requests illumination of the MIL of the first trip with a
fail

Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail

Stores a Freeze Frame (if empty) (DTC Information
for 6VE1 engine)

Stores a Fail Record

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails

Type B

Emissions related

ªArmedº after one (1) trip with a fail

ªDisarmedº after one (1) trip with a pass

Requests illumination of the MIL on the
second
consecutive trip
with a fail

Stores a History DTC on the second consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the first fail)

Stores a Freeze Frame on the second consecutive
trip with a fail (if empty) (DTC Information for 6VE1
engine)

Stores a Fail Record when the first test fails (not
dependent on
consecutive trip fails)

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
(Some special conditions apply to misfire and fuel trim
DTCs)

Type C (if the vehicle is so equipped)

Non-Emissions related

Requests illumination of the Service Lamp or the
service message on the Drive Information Center
(DIC) on the
first trip with a fail

Stores a History DTC on the
first trip with a fail


Does not store a Freeze Frame

Stores Fail Record when test fails

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails

Type D

Non-Emissions related

Not request illumination of any lamp

Stores a History DTC on the
first trip with a fail


Does not store a Freeze Frame

Stores Fail Record when test fails

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails

IMPORTANT:Only four Fail Records can be stored.
Each Fail Record is for a different DTC. It is possible that
there will not be Fail Records for every DTC if multiple
DTCs are set.
Clear DTC
NOTE: If you clear the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)
you will not be able to read any codes recorded during the
last occurrence.
NOTE: To use the DTC again to identify a problem, you
will need to reproduce the fault or the problem. This may
require a new test drive or just turning the ignition on (this
depends on the nature of the fault).
1. If you have a Tech 2:
1. Connect the Tech 2 if it is still not connected GO
THROUGH Tech 2 OBD II CONNECTION.
2. Push ªF1: Clear DTC Informationº in the
Application Menu and answer ªYesº to the
question ªDo you want to clear DTC's?º
a. When a malfunction still exists and the Tech 2
displays ª4L30E CODES NOT CLEAREDº. This
means that the problem is still there or that the
recovery was not done. Please GO TO DTC
CHECK.
b. When a malfunction has been repaired and the
recovery is done. The Tech 2 displays ª4L30E
CODES CLEAREDº.
2. If you have no Tech 2:
Disconnect the PCM battery feed as necessary.
DTC Check
1. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) have been identified
by Tech 2.
2. You have written the list of the DTCs. The order of the
malfunctions has no meanings for this PCM. Usually
only one or two malfunctions should be set for a given
problem.
3. Check directly the DTCs you identified. The DTCs are
sorted by number. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) Identification in this section.
PCM Precaution
The PCM can be damaged by:
1. Electrostatic discharge
2. The short circuit of some terminals to voltage or to
ground.
Electrostatic Discharge Damage Description:
1. Electronic components used to control systems are
often designed to carry very low voltage, and are very
susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic
discharge. It is possible for less than 100 volts of
static electricity to cause damage to some electronic
components. By comparison, it takes as much as
4,000 volts for a person to even feel the zap of a static
discharge.2. There are several ways for a person to become
statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and induction. An example of
charging by friction is a person sliding across a car
seat, in which a charge of as much as 25,000 volts
can build up. Charging by induction occurs when a
person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentarily touches ground.
Charges for the same polarity are drained off, leaving
the person highly charged with the opposite polarity.
Static charges of either type can cause damage,
therefore, it is important to use care when handling
and testing electronic components.
NOTICE: To prevent possible electrostatic
discharge damage:
1. Do not touch the PCM connector pins or soldered
components on the PCM circuit board.
2. Be sure to follow the guidelines listed below if
servicing any of these electronic components:
3. Do not open the replacement part package until it is
time to install the part.
4. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part.
5. Before removing the part from its package, ground
the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
6. Always touch a known good ground before handling
the part. This step should be repeated before
installing the part if the part has been handled while
sliding across the seat, while sitting down from a
standing position or while walking some distance.
Information On PCM
1. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in
the center console and is the control center of the
electronic transmission control system.
2. The PCM must be maintained at a temperature below
85
(185
F) at all times. This is most essential if the
vehicle is put through a paint baking process. The
PCM will become inoperative if its temperature
exceeds 85
C (185
F). Therefore, it is
recommended that the PCM be removed or that
temporary insulation be placed around the PCM
during the time the vehicle is in a paint oven or other
high temperature process.
3. The PCM is designed to process the various inputs
and then respond by sending the appropriate
electrical signals to control transmission upshift,
downshift, shift feel and torque converter clutch
engagement.
4. The PCM constantly interprets information from the
various sensors, and controls the systems that affect
transmission and vehicle performance. By analyzing
operational problems, the PCM is able to perform a
diagnostic function by displaying DTC(s) and aid the
technician in making repairs.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)7A1±23
Intermittent Conditions
If the Tech 2 displays a diagnostic trouble code as
intermittent, or if after a test drive a DTC does not
reappear though the detection conditions for this DTC are
present, the problem is most likely a faulty electrical
connection or loose wiring. Terminals and grounds should
always be the prime suspect. Intermittents rarely occur
inside sophisticated electronic components such as the
PCM.
Use the DTC information to understand which wires and
sensors are involved.
When an intermittent problem is encountered, check
suspect circuits for:
1. Poor terminal to wire connection.
2. Terminals not fully seated in the connector body
(backed out).
3. Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
4. Loose, dirty, or corroded ground connections:
HINT: Any time you have an intermittent in more than
one circuit, check whether the circuits share a
common ground connection.5. Pinched or damaged wires.
6. Electro±Magnetic Interference (EMI):
HINT: Check that all wires are properly routed away
from coil, and generator. Also check for improperly
installed electrical options, such as lights, 2±way
radios, etc.
Use the F2: SNAPSHOT mode of the Tech 2 to help
isolate the cause of an intermittent fault. The snapshot
mode will record information before and after the problem
occurs. Set the snapshot to ªtriggerº on the suspect DTC.
If you notice the reported symptom during the test drive,
trigger the snapshot manually.
After the snapshot has been triggered, command the
Tech 2 to play back the flow of data recorded from each of
the various sensors. Signs of an intermittent fault in a
sensor circuit are sudden unexplainable jump in data
values out of the normal range.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)7A1±25
DTC P0218 Transmission Fluid Over Temperature
D07R200004
Circuit Description
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a
thermister that controls the signal voltage to the PCM.
The PCM supplies a 5±volt reference to the sensor on
circuit RED/BLK. When the transmission fluid is cold, the
sensor resistance is high and the PCM will sense high
signal voltage. As the fluid temperature warms to a
normal transmission operating temperature of 100
C
(212
F), the sensor resistance becomes less and the
voltage decreases to 1.5 to 2.0 volts.
This DTC detects a high transmission temperature for a
long period of time. This is a type ªDº DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC

No TFT DTCs P0712 or P0713.

TFT is greater than 135
C (275
F).

All conditions met for 21 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Hot mode TCC Shift Pattern.

The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL).

ATF Lamp ON. (TFT is greater than 145
C (293
F))

Disable E±side TCC OFF request.
Conditions For Clearing The DTC

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.

The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warm±up cycles without a failure
reported.
The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled ªoffº
long enough to power down the PCM.
Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at
the PCM and transmission 7-way connector. Look
for possible bent, backed out, deformed or damaged
terminals. Check for weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

Check harness routing for a potential short to ground
in circuit RED/BLK.

Scan tool TFT sensor temperature should rise
steadily to about 100
C (212
F), then stabilize.

Check for a ªskewedº (mis±scaled) sensor by
comparing the TFT sensor temperature to the
ambient temperature after a vehicle cold soak. A
ªskewedº sensor can cause delayed garage shifts or
TCC complaints.

Check for a possible torque converter stator problem.

Verify customer driving habits, trailer towing, etc.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)7A1±27
DTC P0705 Transmission Range Switch (Mode Switch) Illegal Position
D07R200005
Circuit Description

The range switch supplies the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) with information regarding the selector
lever position: P, R, N, D, 3, 2 or L. The selector lever
position is indicated by the state of four ON/OFF
contacts. The range switch is located on one side of
the transmission. It is on the transmission manual
shaft and is fixed to the main case.

The range switch is also used to provide the
information P or N to the engine crank wiring. The
engine can be cranked only if connector E±41
terminal 4(H) is connected to terminal 1(E) which is
connected to ground.

The range switch is also used to provide the backup
lamp power in reverse. This is the reason why the
range switch is supplied through a 15A fuse (TURN,
BACK UP). This fuse can burn due to a short circuit in
the back up lamp.
This DTC detects when a fuse is open or the range switch
circuit does not work. This is a type ªDº DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC

Range switch illegal positions met for 5 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Default to D position.

Inhibit torque management.

Maximum line pressure.
Turn Force Motor OFF.

The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL).
Conditions For Clearing The DTC

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.

The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled ªoffº
long enough to power down the PCM.
Diagnostic Aids

Refer to accompanying chart for the normal range
signals and the illegal combinations.

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at
the PCM and at the transmission 8±way connector.
Look for possible bent, backed out, deformed or
damaged terminals. Check for weak terminal tension
as well. Also check for a chafed wire that could short
to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire
inside the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
